The uncle of an FBI agent spends his life as sheriff in different cities, living too close to the violent acts of men; a cocktail waitress moves through several desert towns trying to escape the loss of an adopted daughter who went missing under unexplained circumstances; a drug dealer with a penchant for karaoke and a bullet hole in his foot meets a talkative lawyer and a silent clown in a Palm Springs bar. These surprising and thrilling stories from a master of modern crime fiction elaborate and enrich the dynamic Sal Cupertine/Rabbi David Cohen gangster universe"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Criminals $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Organized crime $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Gangsters $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Noir fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 941 $a 11 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716032005.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010021313.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909063211.0 952 $l WAPD715 $d 20220203011354.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20210713013729.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20210526010833.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20210428012003.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20210415010202.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210302015721.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20210302010559.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210205021329.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=35C89CEA678011EB971060AB21ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
